Abstract
This research project aims to characterize the gap between the mathematics teachers’ current knowledge of mathematics and the ideal mathematical understanding for teaching in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) context. In particular, as part of a research project proposal that was submitted to UAE National Research Foundation and going through the final stage of review and approval, this study aims to investigate “how in-service mathematics teachers understand and think about fundamental mathematical ideas in major strands (geometry, algebra, measurement, probability and statistics, and numbers) as well as “the nature of the gap between ‘what teachers know’ and ‘what they should know’ to teach mathematics effectively in UAE schools. To answer these questions, a profile of UAE mathematics teachers will be determined, and investigated through qualitative and quantitative research techniques. Such work is expected to inform researchers, mathematics teacher education programs and policy makers.
